What you need to know:

  • A partial eclipse was also observed in some areas when the moon entered and left the earth’s atmosphere.
  • The most dramatic is the total lunar eclipse, in which the earth’s shadow covers the moon.

Momentous, dramatic and “bloody”.

Kenyans joined the rest of the world last night to observe the historic moment of the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century.
